On the morning of May 2, 1969 a group of sleepy choir members boarded two buses enroute to Grand Forks, North Dakota. The entertainment on the buses included radios, guitars and card games. The program was ended when we arrived at Central High School in downtown Grand Forks. On arriving at Central we were served with a free lunch which the students either ate heartily or starved before performing in front of the school. The American students enjoyed the Gordon Bell choir with its numerous selections very much. Our accompanist Tom Wong, was given a standing ovation for the three pieces he played. After every¬ one was introduced to his host we all separated going back to our host’s house where they served us dinner. In the evening a party was held for the Gordon Bell Choir and the Grand Forks Orches¬ tra. After such games as “grey duck” and “red rover” the party really started “swinging”. The next morning was spent shopping in the numerous stores. After this we went back to the school to await the buses. On arriving at the border on the homeward journey, we were surprised and dismayed when the customs officers checked the entire seventy- five students’ luggages. Many were caught with bought articles which they had not planned on paying duties for. Most of them though, were quite happy when they did get away tax free. All in all it was a quite enjoyable trip.
